By 1910, nearly 150,000 Scandinavians had immigrated to the Pacific Northwest. Those coming from Sweden settled in cities like Seattle, as well as smaller towns throughout Washington state. This photo shows a group of Swedish-Americans, probably an extended family, having a picnic on a warm spring day. It is part of an album titled "The Swedes' Life and Work in the State of Washington" which was acquired by the Swedish Club of Seattle.
